PGH experiences sweltering afternoons, what with the lack of centralized airconditioning in the Charity Wards—and rightly so. We prioritize labs and medications before physical comfort. I took the photo above as I walked out of the Ophthalmology building [1], seeing a patient there for preoperative clearance. Darkness was creeping in. The shadows were getting longer. It was 4 PM. Night was coming. Directly above was the small tunnel that connects SOJR to the PGH Main Building.

[1] Sentro Oftalmologico José Rizal, named after the country's national hero—an eye doctor. The building was donated by the Queen of Spain, whose forefathers were our colonizers.
